Been trying to finish up The Witcher the past two weeks. It's okay, but I'm truly amazed at how much high praise this game got, given its serious flaws. I also can't get over its SUPER SERIOUS tone, given that I can pretty much sleep with every female character in the game, after which I get a collectible card depicting the deed. Classy!

Anyway, starting this week I'll be playing through Radiant Historia, providing it arrives in time.

I've finally finished it last week and I see what you mean by serious flaws. At some point the game can get really boring and repetitive (thanks to certain sidequests!), the graphics were nice, especially the beautiful landscapes but it also contain lots of bugs.All in all, I appreciated it. It have it's own charm, the super serious tone is part of it. I'm definitely looking forward for his sequel!

Since I finally caved in and bought an Xbox 360 it's been Call of Duty: Black Ops... the first FPS I've played since Counterstrike. I still think Counterstrike was better. Also, I bought the expansion for World of Warcraft but have yet to level. Guess after 6 years it's finally getting old. Maybe it's time to finally cancel the subscription and put MMO's behind me.

after getting a ps3 not too long ago, finally finished God of war III. It felt shorter for me, and I liked the fight with Hades and Cronos the most. I thought by this 3rd game they would change the way you open the chests and doors, you know maybe with a kick or just shattering it with your blades.

UPDATE: playing Killzone 3 at the moment. Liking it so far. If anyone wants the code for SOCOM 4 BEta let me know, since I know I"m not going to use it

Trying to stomach my way through Darksiders, because I've heard such high praise for how it tackles the Zelda formula. BUt man, the "story" and "characters" are enough to make me barf. They're straight out of a late 90s Image comic. Lots of excessive shoulder pads, horns, belts and scars.

Playing this as well Brandy! We should play together sometime if we're both on. I'll get my friend to invite you to our squad if I see you in the game. I'm also playing this pretty nice JRPG for DS called Radiant Historia. It's about a guy using a time traveling book thing that lets him go back to different decisions and split the timeline, and it's handled pretty well from what I've seen so far. It's pretty fun and I like how the battle system is pretty fast. I'd recommend it to anybody who feels a need for a JRPG at the moment.

I"ll be online tomorrow night, since I"m off Sundays and MOndays. SEe ya in the network Link

You won't be disappointed by Just Cause 2. It's the ultimate videogame. Just gather enough money to buy yourself a private jet and you'll forget all your earthly problems.

So I've seen from all the awesome videos of people surfing sharks and jets and buildings into other buildings. It's been a while since I've played a good sandbox so I'm looking forward to it. I'll let you know what I think of it later on tonight!

Just Cause 2 offered a little TOO much freedom for me. It felt aimless, and I never felt anything I did really mattered, in the big picture. Sure, I could assemble an amazing arsenal and blow up an entire factory, but to what end?

I should also mention I'm playing through Radiant Historia for the DS right now, in brief sessions, about 1-2 hrs a day. It didn't strike me as very special at first. But with time it's proven itself to be a very mature RPG, and by that I don't mean blood and boobs. I mean, the script itself doesn't treat you like a goddamn moron. And that's refreshing.

Super Mario RPG is one of my favorite soundtracks and made me aware of the composer and his other works. I'll definitely have to investigate RH now...

Yoko Shimomura is a girl. I am playing Majora's Mask that I bought on the Wii's virtual console, it's pretty fun so far. I was really worried about the time in the beginning of the game until I realized that I had to wait till the night of the final day for the door to the clocktower to open. That is one creepy moon by the way, reminds me of Freddy Krueger for some reason.

Playing a hell of a lot of Borderlands - starting up a new character (Mordecai), in preparation for getting the new DLC, Claptrap's Robot Revolution. So far level 50, gonna run through 2.5 before I get to the DLC. Having a blast playing this again.

Trying to stomach my way through Darksiders, because I've heard such high praise for how it tackles the Zelda formula. BUt man, the "story" and "characters" are enough to make me barf. They're straight out of a late 90s Image comic. Lots of excessive shoulder pads, horns, belts and scars.

You're a better man than I for sticking it out with a game you don't enjoy. Did it get any better or did you give up on it?

Just beat Bulletstorm. That was some shit right there. I loved it. Although there's not much left in terms of content when you beat the campaign. The Multiplayer consists of a horde mode, and Echoes, which are like miniature versions of levels that are entirely score based. I don't really mind too much though - the main game is what I bought it for. It also has some of the coolest gun designs. Major props on that front.

So now I've started Just Cause 2. I'm a few hours in on one of the first missions. The accents and dialogue are cracking me up. Most of the soldiers sound like normal guys doing impressions of chinese accents. But hey, it's cool. I'm gonna go hang glide across the coast for a few more hours.

Ah yes I remember Darksiders. I actually played through till the end, or close to the end until at some point I got stuck. Then I realized that I wasn't actually having any fun, it was just an annoying, cheesy game that rips off everything from other games. I never did beat it, despite being on the last chapter or something, and I don't feel bad about it at all.

Hmm, maybe I'll check this out. Ive been itching for something new, even though I should save money for all that is coming out in the next few months. As for Just Cause, I didnt really care for the first game and after playing the demo for the sequel, I think I'll stay clear of that series.
